I did not know the family, but from a fellow PEDRIAN, my prayers are with all....

Some SUV tires when they get a flat on the fwy, they cause SUV s to roll over, as this case. What a way to die,

[Sad in my heart]

May God bless their souls and give their family's peace during this time of pain.

Dang, dude. That's a rough way to go out. And what a nice family, too. Why doesn't this happen to evil people instead???

Tragic, just tragic.
One of the saddest stories I have ever read.
My deepest condolences to their families.

I went to the PV Burger King many a time and everyone of them I was greated by Tony. He was such a nice guy. We had many a pleasant converstion. I feel so sad for their families. What a sad day.

I am so very saddened at this time. Nayelli was in my 6th grade class last year at Dodson Middle School. She was a wonderful student and person. She was respectful, meticulous in her work, neat and caring. She was absolutely precious.
I met her father more than once during school events and I always looked forward to telling him how pleased I was to have his daughter as my student. Nayelli even wrote me a thank you note at the end of the year for being her teacher. I will miss her terribly.

So sad, Burger King should pay for the whole thing and let there families morn. It’s a big thing to deal with, especially when its five family members you have to lay to rest.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families…

My late wife and I, along with our grandson, used to frequent Burger King on Torrance Blvd. Belinda was always very sweet us. My wife would always get a smile on her face when it was Belinda who served us as we got our order in the drive-thru. My thoughts and prayers to them and their family.

The location is not that far from where the van was rear ended and the children died about 2 years ago. Awful stories.
